I had been debating purchasing a JumboMax grip for my driver to try out for a couple months now. I had a Golf Pride Jumbo on my previous driver and liked the extra thickness it provided. I am a tall guy (6'5") with average size hands for my height, so normal sized grips, and even midsize, just feel very skinny to me. 

Two weeks ago I purchased and installed the JumboMax JMX UltraLite in a large, which is a plus 11/32" over standard. I didn't want to go larger than this as I wanted something thick, but not monstrous. I have since played two rounds with the grip installed and I am driving the ball straighter than I have since I upgraded my driver back in May. I am consistently hitting baby fades which is my go-to shot. My main miss with the driver is a slice, and in two rounds I have no hit a slice (couple bigger fades but nothing even close to calling a slice). It has only been two rounds, so time will tell if it is actually the grip or if I am just in a zone with my driver right now. I do really like the feel of the grip. It feels much more natural for my larger hands, and I feel as though it increases my ability to keep the club face consistent through my swing. 

My two hybrids are in need of a re-gripping, so I will try the JumboMax out on those clubs next. It will be a while before my irons need to be re-gripped.

Just wanted to post a short review in case anyone else was interested. The most recent posting on this site related to JumboMax was a 2017 comment on a 2011/2012 thread. Side note, I was interested to see that these grips have been around for much longer than I thought. I think Bryson has been playing them for quite a while now, but I know I just recently heard of them within the last few months.

Just adding to this, I believe one of these is what you are talking about, or at least are in the same family.

I loved the Jumbomax grips when I tried them last year. However, I had to take them off after a month because they gave me severe tendinitis in my elbows and forearms which almost (should’ve) ended my season. Very disappointing.

    • Day 161 1-21 Backswing focus, used mirror to check position. After a few reps hit foam ball.
    • Day 19: 2026.01.21 Only managed ten minutes of slow swings indoors tonight. Same progress pieces.
    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
